If you have a two-button mouse and pressing the right and left buttons
simultaneously doesn't not paste text for your xterm then you need
X to emulate a 3-button mouse. To do this you must a few lines to your
/etc/X11/XF86Config file in the "Pointer" section as follows:
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
That should do the trick.
